Chapter 60: Sea Demons, the Terrifying Headless Creatures

"The road ahead is likely to become increasingly dangerous," a divine servant remarked, gazing at the boundless target sea, his expression grave.

Subsequently, the group of divine servants spoke one after another: "Even if it is more dangerous, it is worth it. That place holds the fortune of the Kunpeng, one of the Ten Fiends of antiquity. If we can obtain it, we will surely dominate the Huangyu, and indeed, the entire Bayu."

"To seize fortune, there will inevitably be death and injury; it has always been this way, and it has never changed."

"What we are encountering now is still just a minor disaster and small tribulation. When we truly reach the Kunpeng Yichao, that will likely be the real challenge. I fear only by slaughtering our way out from tens of thousands of people will we be able to gain anything."

Finally, a divine servant shouted, waving his arm: "We shall ascend into the air and travel far from the sea surface."

All the divine servants formed seals simultaneously, and heaven-covering Runes gathered upon the animal skin, brilliant and dazzling. The animal skin rose to the high sky, like a red sun, crossing the boundless void with extreme speed.

As they steered the animal skin and flew another ten thousand miles into the sea, a massive swarm of creatures wrapped in blue-light Runes surged out from the sea surface at high speed, causing the sea to churn with dense, white-foaming waves.

These creatures shot out like a meteor shower, and the momentum that spread along with them was exceptionally terrifying and extremely shocking.

As they drew closer, it could be seen that this was a group of creatures born with fleshy wings, possessing human bodies, and having dragon tails.

Their entire bodies were like the sea surface, all blue, and their appearance was strange. Although they looked very much like humans, they possessed long fangs comparable to those of demonic beasts and fierce beasts, reflecting cold glints under the sunlight, appearing incomparably ferocious and chilling to the heart.

They were densely packed, numbering in the thousands or tens of thousands, all spitting blue Rune-light from their mouths, spraying toward them.

"Not good! It's the Sea Demons!" a knowledgeable divine servant immediately cried out in alarm.

Sea Demons!

This type of creature is the most troublesome. Often, whenever they appear, they are at least in the scale of ten thousand. Although their individual strength is not strong, if ten thousand of them gather together, they are absolutely not to be underestimated.

If the number reaches a terrifying one hundred thousand, or even a million, I fear that even if a Venerable were to come, they would only have the option of fleeing in a panic.

In an instant, all the divine servants dispersed, each standing on the outer perimeter of the animal skin, protecting the young prodigies, including Mengchen, Little Bear, and others, in the center.

"Swoosh...! Boom...! Bang...!"

They each struck, Runes pouring down, cutting down all the Sea Demons that charged over.

However, on the boundless blue sea, it was as if it were boiling; Sea Demons kept surging out, as if there were no end...

After a period of suppression and killing, all the divine servants showed signs of fatigue, lying down with sweat pouring like rain.

They began to grow anxious; the situation was not optimistic at all. If things continued like this, I fear everyone would be eaten alive and torn apart by the Sea Demons.

"Everyone, strike together to share the pressure for them! If they are exhausted, we will all die."

Mengchen shouted, then opened all ten Cave Heavens. His entire body was brilliant gold, his momentum rose instantly, and as Divine Power and Runes circulated, he punched out blow after blow.

"Bang!"

With one punch, at least several dozen Sea Demons turned into a mist of blood.

Heizi also spat out black light, striking together. Tianhu Shaonü was protected behind them by the joint efforts of Mengchen and Heizi.

Little Bear, who was to the side, had also long since struck. In his state of having all ten Cave Heavens opened, he punched out blow after blow. At times, mysterious Runes condensed into a giant Suanni, or a Green-Scaled Eagle, which whistled away, killing swathes of Sea Demons.

Afterward, the purple-clad girl and the group of prodigies all struck. A thousand-colored rain of Rune-light intertwined, dazzling and eye-catching, and for a time, they slaughtered the Sea Demons so they could not get close.

With their participation, the pressure on the divine servants eased significantly.

However, the Sea Demons surging from the sea still charged over in the thousands and tens of thousands, like moths to a flame, fearless and undaunted.

Without any warning, a loud shout came from the sea surface:

"The Sea Demon Venerable has ordered: seal this sea area! Those who trespass will be killed without mercy!"

"Damn Sea Demons, don't even think about blocking our path." An elderly divine servant roared toward the sea.

Following this, he took out an animal horn, from which an ancient aura emanated.

"Woo..."

He pressed the animal horn to his lips and blew it. In an instant, heaven-covering mysterious Runes spread endlessly along with the heavy sound of the animal horn.

As the Runes and the sound of the horn spread, ten thousand Sea Demons exploded instantly, and their heaven-covering corpses fell into the sea, stirring up a thousand layers of water spray.

"What a terrifying treasure!"

Seeing this scene, Mengchen exclaimed; this lethality was simply too shocking.

"Old man, why didn't you take out such a treasure earlier?"

Little Bear, who was to the side, said with some resentment, as it had caused him to waste so much effort.

Upon hearing this, the elderly divine servant immediately said with a cold gaze: "What do you know? Good steel should naturally be used on the blade's edge. Only at a critical moment can one catch the enemy by surprise. If one takes it out to show off as soon as they encounter an enemy, wouldn't that let the enemy be on guard?"

"Fine, fine, fine, I suppose you have a point." Little Bear waved his hand nonchalantly, appearing completely indifferent to the cold gaze the divine servant showed at this moment.

This was only because it was a critical moment, and the divine servant's words made sense; otherwise, given Little Bear's personality, he likely would not have let it go without arguing about who was right and who was wrong. Taking advantage of the power of the animal horn, they steered the animal skin and moved away rapidly, and only after completely shaking off the endless Sea Demons did everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Recalling the sealing of the sea area mentioned by the Sea Demons earlier, the group of divine servants discussed:

"Could it be that the Kunpeng Yichao has already appeared in the world?"

"I think it's eight or nine out of ten. Now the entire Beihai is not peaceful. All the creatures in the sea are likely just like the Sea Demons, sealing their respective sea areas, not wanting us outsiders to set foot here."

"It seems we should speed up. Otherwise, if we go too late, I fear the Kunpeng divine treasure will have already been obtained by others."

"Go! Full speed ahead."

Their hearts were uneasy, and to prevent the Kunpeng divine treasure from being obtained by others first, they began to advance at full speed.

Now, in their eyes, nothing was more important than that Kunpeng fortune; even if there were unknown great horrors on the road ahead, they still pressed forward courageously.

After advancing at full speed for a while, finding that the sea surface was not peaceful, to prevent triggering unnecessary conflicts, they chose to dive to the seabed and head toward their destination from there.

The seabed was filled with reefs, and after some stealthy travel, it went quite smoothly, successfully avoiding the creatures on that sea surface.

However, good times did not last long. Silently and without warning, the seawater suddenly surged violently. From within a patch of reefs, a peerlessly massive, brilliant light Blade, carrying endless killing intent, suddenly slashed toward them.

"Crack!"

The animal skin was sliced in two in an instant, and dozens of divine servants and prodigies were struck by the light Blade, instantly exploding into a mist of blood.

That light Blade was exceptionally terrifying; after slicing through the animal skin, it slashed straight out of the sea surface, as if even the sea had been split in two, and the slash mark was several hundred meters long.

"Phew...! That was truly too dangerous."

Mengchen exclaimed; fortunately, that light Blade had not hit him, otherwise, he would likely have perished here.

He still gripped Tianhu Shaonü tightly, never once abandoning her.

In his view, since Tianhu Shaonü had come with him and had her Divine Power sealed by him, it was only right that he take care of her.

Although Heizi's strength could not compare to Mengchen's, it was definitely not weak compared to those prodigies of Taigu Shenshan, and it had been following by Mengchen's side the whole time.

Just as the light blade slashed down, Little Bear pulled the purple-clad girl to his side with quick eyes and swift hands, allowing her to escape disaster; otherwise, the purple-clad girl would likely have been reduced to a mist of blood on the spot.

"Fierce beast, I just saved you, so speak! How do you intend to repay me?" Even in this moment of crisis, Little Bear still had the energy to be mischievous.

"Hmph! Who asked you to save me? Get away!" The purple-clad girl shoved Little Bear away, her pretty face instantly flushing red.

"Sooner or later, I'm carrying you back to Stone Village," Little Bear said indignantly.

The purple-clad girl said nothing more, biting her pink lips, her eyes stealing glances at Little Bear.

"Look! That is..."

Suddenly someone exclaimed, drawing everyone's gaze.

Mengchen and the others looked over to see a headless humanoid creature, wearing black armor and holding a golden war halberd.

It was monstrously ferocious with a chilling aura, brandishing its war spear as it charged toward them to kill.

"Shh!"

Several divine servants unleashed treasure-light Runes to meet the attack.

"Ah..."

"Bang, bang, bang..."

In an instant, those divine servants were pierced through by the golden war spear and subsequently burst into a dozen pieces... it was exceptionally gruesome.

"What is this? How can it be so strong!" someone trembled.

"Run!"

Following a roar from one person, everyone instantly scattered like headless flies.

"Shh!"

The headless creature arrived in the blink of an eye, and as the golden war spear swung freely, one tragic, blood-curdling scream after another quickly spread.

Under that golden war spear, all living things were like paper, easily sliced into several pieces.

Mengchen watched all of this, his heart shaken; the headless creature was too terrifying and not something he could contend with.

Therefore, he picked up the shrunken Heizi and pulled Tianhu Shaonü along, beginning to flee rapidly.

This is the third chapter for today; I will go prepare the fourth chapter for today shortly and present it to everyone before 5:00 PM.

Thank you all for your continued support, thank you! (End of chapter)
